As I was asked by Eve from the shop "Everything Earthy" to make some more purses I decided this time to use some of the richly dyed mohair from our goats which I posted some days ago.I patched pieces, felted the mohair, quilted some mohair, added braids, embroided some pieces with floss ribbon and then trimmed the edges with the mohair, silk and other threads and here are the results.The felting embellisher makes the work go quite quickly and there is just no end of things to try using it.

Oh Suzy, these are spectacular. I just feel like reaching and and fondling those purses!!!he,he. Wow- the mohair!!!You are really influencing my work Suzy. I have a Gypsey in mind, and have two little dolls almost finished. AND the Pincushion idea....I have been "haunting" the Op Shops(we have some wonderful ones near us- I can't believe the high quality things they sell for such small prices). I have an OTT one. Hmmm- think I'll make a Blogpost -even if dolls aren't finished- you'll see what I mean!! Wille mail you Very soon!!!Judyxx

Good morning Judy, JudyF and Lorna - Thank you for your kind comments. The dyed mohair gave me a good excuse to get into the felting and use some of that magenta silk which I so love.Hope your day is going well for you!

Suzy, almost every woman likes handbags, it's normal we use them every day, but your inspiration, color, fantasy, etc. .. is gorgeous and unique, I lack words to your given both in terms of artistic works, because of otherness, uniqueness,greet;)))

Creating for me is essential! It feeds my heart and soul. It is a large part of who I am.
I have a passion for vintage fabrics, silks, velvets, laces and embellishments inc. jewellery which I incorporate into my collages for journals etc.
My love also of antiques, time worn treasures - all things tarnished, tattered and pre-loved goes hand in hand with my creativity but above all I try to live a simple self-sufficient rural life style with my husband inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds us here.
